Chapter 255: Desecration of the Furnace
“Training begins.”
As an emotionless voice came from the speaker, Soshyan took the lead in throwing himself at the machine.
It raised its fists, trying to give him a blow, but he grabbed the two fists directly, stepped his heels firmly on the floor of the training ground, and pushed hard.
Sand piled up behind him, Soshyan slowed down to a natural balance between him and the machine's power, then slowly pushed the training machine backward across the sand.
The machine's engine whined, and the veins on Soshiyan's neck were exposed.
Then, he adjusted his grip, changed his foot, and roared, forcing the machine aside.
The huge force forced it to bend its left knee. Soshyan gritted his teeth and kicked to the right, hitting the joint hard one after another until it was sprained and spurted out a stream of oil. .
Finally, the machine fell to the ground.
Soshyan retreated and prepared for the next attack.
This is just a warm-up, and the machine will quickly correct itself for such minor damage.
"Program interrupted."
Soshiyang looked up. He was still alone, but the lens of a holographic projection embedded in the wall shone with white light, and a familiar figure appeared in the sky. figure.
"Farzad, what's the matter?"
"Chapter Master, the priest asked me to tell you that the purification of the Unbound Soul has been completed, but there are some things you need. Go deal with it yourself.”
"Okay, I'll be right away."
After that, Soshyan took off the training armor, and after simply wiping off the sweat on his body, put on the power armor again and summoned Thor and Savita to ride in Glory The Saber heads to Gages' temporary dockyard.
Five days later, they arrived at their destination.
Entering orbit, the first thing that catches the eye is the Unbound Soul, which has been basically repaired. The subspace imprints on its appearance have been erased, and the desecrated church on the upper deck has been rebuilt. The Imperial Sky Eagle statue at the head of the Imperial Palace regained its luster.
Although there was no structural damage, it took nearly a year and a lot of manpower to complete these tasks. Even Soshyan used part of the manpower to repair the Spark. Mobilize to the Unbound Soul.
At its peak, there were more than 200,000 workers of all kinds, slaves and servitors working on the ship.
The priest Yazdan insisted on carrying out purification work on the ship for hundreds of days. Working with him were more than 300 Anglican priests and 50 clerical nuns.
This process is not without accidents. As a warship that has been corroded by subspace, it is obviously unrealistic to have no accidents.
In fact, during the entire year of renovations, various unexplained suicides, violent activities, and even organized rebellions broke out. According to simple statistics, tens of thousands of workers died one after another. , including twenty priests, and countless damaged servitors.
In order to ensure that no serious accidents occur, Soshyan has always kept Ustad's team stationed here to suppress various riots at any time.
After the workers and slaves have finished their work, except for some senior workers who will be transferred to the Spark to continue working after passing the review, most of the rest will arrange to colonize the Ferron system directly on the spot - it is said to be colonization, but it is actually quite large. In exile.
This is the last mercy Soshyan can give. If according to the standards of the Inquisition, all mortals here should be executed. After arriving at the temporary dock, Soshyan took the lead to meet Yazdan and got a general understanding of the situation.
To put it simply, there is still some work to be done inside the ship, but it does not affect its use. The remaining work can be completed while sailing.
On the other hand, there is the last question of the Unbound Soul.
"This..."
In a secret warehouse in the shipyard, Yazdan opened a heavy iron door, and then the lights in the warehouse lit up one by one. There was another door at the end, but there was a sticker on the door. Full of various scrolls.
Soshiyan knew what was inside without pushing the door open.
Yazdan pointed at the door and said slightly tiredly:
"...This thing, its witchcraft is too powerful and cannot be purified. The earliest guards who guarded it have all Death is a suicide, so I can only check in person every three days.”
Behind that door is the mysterious machine that appeared in the Astrology Room together with the demon host.
The first time he saw it, Rogris concluded that it was a blasphemous machine, not a type of Omnissian machine at all, and named it the blasphemous furnace.
After that, Soshyan asked Thor and Savita to check the machine again, and both sides came to basically the same result - it was something that combined the power of subspace and was similar to a demon engine.
Devil Engine is a semi-technological, semi-magical creation. Different types of Demon Engines have great differences in form and function, but they all have one thing in common - mechanical physics. The shell contains a Chaos Daemon bound within it, and these Daemons are responsible for controlling the actions of the Daemon Engine.
Demon Engines possess an insatiable bloodlust and are obsessed with violence and destruction. No matter who they serve, these deranged creations will destroy anything in their path, so these vehicles must be restrained. Get up until you release them towards the enemy.
Like all Warp entities, Daemon Engines exude an aura of death and hatred that would overwhelm a weaker being.
Anyone standing near these demon-possessed vehicles will often fall to their knees in fear as the demon's presence floods their minds.
Building demon engines requires the participation of people who understand the knowledge of chaos, such as dimensional blacksmiths, chaos wizards, and technical priests of the Dark Mechanicus. Demons will be bound under the shells of these machines to spread and control the entire machine. circuit, thereby controlling and mobilizing all functions of the bound machine.
But this machine is not offensive, so Savita does not think it is the same thing as the regular demon engine.
It functions more like a radar.
And the Crow Prince also proposed a bold idea.
That is, the demon inside this machine was actually separated. In other words, in order to better control this machine, the Chaos Wizard stuffed part of the demon belonging to the demon engine into the demon host, so that the demon The host, machine, and demon form a subtle connection.
The advantage of this is that it can control the more powerful demons. After all, most demons will be weakened after splitting into two.
At the same time, the demon's abilities are well preserved, and it is obviously easier to control a demon host than a demon engine.
Due to this, directly destroying this machine may release the demon inside, so Soshyan can only ask Yazdan to temporarily seal it and wait for the right opportunity to deal with it.
